When the system is aware that VPP is not available by the VA driver,
it would be useful to notify to the user that the disable-vpp property
has changed.

Instead of creating and adding VPP into the bin at setup, we wait until
we are sure the VA driver supports it. We know that when the VA video
context is received by the bin. Afterwards, it is decided to instanciate
and link the VPP or not.
This is more efficient and safer than waiting the VPP to fail and then
disable it.

Adding a new propery "disable-vpp", enabling it will prevent
the insertion of vaapipostproc child element.
This is helpful in debugging, specifically to narrow-down the
vaapidecodebin/vaapipostproc related negotiation issues.
No support for run-time disabling for now.

Fix link when building plugin elements without HEVC support. e.g. don't
try to call into gst_vaapi_decoder_h265_set_alignment() if there is no
support HEVC enabled in libgstvaapi.
Also, drop disabled codecs from static template caps. Add the missing
HEVC static template caps into vaapidecodebin too.
The support for GStreamer 1.0 has been obsoleted in 0.5.10 release.
GStreamer 1.2 is the a minimal requirement for building the gstreamer-vaapi.
This patch removes all the pre-processor conditional code compilation guarded
for gstreamer-1.0.
Thus, all the video converters were removed too.

The purpose of gstcompat.h is to couple the API differences among
gstreamer-1.0 and gstreamer-0.10. Since gstreamer-0.10 is obsolete, the code
in this compatibility layer shall be removed.
Nevertheless, the gstcompat.h header should be kept, if new incompatibilites
appear in the future, but it shall live in gst/vaapi, not in gst-libs.
This patch removes the crumbs defined gstcompat.h and moves it to gst/vaapi.
In order to avoid layer violations, gstcompat.h includes sysdeps.h and all
the includes in gst/vaapi of sysdeps.h are replaced with gstcompat.h

Add a "vaapidecodebin" element to vaapi plugins.
Child Elements: "vaapidecode ! queue ! vaapipostproc"
The Reasons for implementing a new bin element:
-- Help to Autoplug Hardware Accelerated Video Postprocessing element in playbin
with out any dependency to upstream gstreamer.
This is to overcome the *unacceptable* delay in upstream gstreamer to get new
features in. Eg: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687182.
Also customers using older gstreamer versions (1.2 and 1.4) will get the
benefit of autoplugging, hardware accelerated deinterlacing support etc.
-- Help to maintain a single thread implementation in vaapidecode.
This will result a dead-lock free vaapidecode in most of the cases.
